1995 Upper Deck Motorsports "Special Promo" Pack

Who doesn't like to rip open the old-fashioned Upper Deck foil packs?  I am one who loves the buttery smoothness of that soft foil as it tears.  Brings back the memories.  Speaking of memories, here is a 4-card "Special Promo" pack from Upper Deck's 1995 Motorsports Set.  It is not the Hobby or Retail pack and contains only 3 random Series 1 & 2 cards as well as 1 Electric insert card along with an Entry Card to try and "Win the World's Most Valuable Card".  I believe this is the WalMart promotion for the T206 Honus Wagner card.

Grab a can of Bud Light and your favorite koosie.  This one is for you.......

I wonder what the value added is here?



#198: First up, Bobby from the Labonte clan.  A powerhouse family that really helped define NASCAR.



#170: I respect Darrell's driving skills, but am not a fan of the Waltrip family.  I guess one redeeming quality is my son loves the Cars' movies so he can't be all that bad.



#76: This is what NASCAR needs to get back to.  Look at how distinguished that car is....not this cookie-cutter crap they have now.

#217: My Electric parallel version of Jeff Purvis.  That is all I have to say about that.



Come on, no Whammies..........what a storied past the T206 Wagner card has and this captures a small part of that crazy history.  You had to send this form in for a chance to win or if you happen to lose this form, you can send in your wrapper and grab an entry form at your local retailer.  I was out of collecting cards in 1995, but I can imagine this must have been a huge deal.  Anyone have any stories of trying to win this card....or actually winning it????

As always, thanks for stopping by!
